I've been trying a ton of different beers since i've been down here. If i don't get a six pack by the end of the week i get a 22 ounce of something really rare. There's this one by rogue, it's called hazelnut brown nectar. It is a perfect beer and i'm trying to decide whether or not i can call it my favorite. It's a difficult call simply because there are so many varieties and it's nearly impossible to compare between them.

It pours with a light brown head that dissipates slowly, but surely after a few minutes. As soon as it hits the bottom of your glass you can smell the nutty aromas, the hazelnut is most pronounced but that scent is accompanied by dark fruit, something like fig or even a sweeter cherry. Once i actually get around to taking a sip... Perfect, it's more of a malty flavor with a less pronounced presence of hops. The malts are reminiscent of coffee and bitter dark chocolate but smoothed over with the almost creamy nutty presence. This is where the variety of malts really comes out in a profound complex flavor. The mouthfeel is smooth and buttery with almost no evidence that the alcohol content is in fact a little higher than average. And the aftertaste is long and pronounced leaving a fading memory as the flavor shifts and changes to a surprisingly refreshing and light climax.

I would recommend this brew to everyone because it's not overwhelming in any way, but has the depth and complexity most brewers wish they could achieve.

Tonight there is a plan. I fairly recently met a person, Todd, who is very informed of the local music scene and wants to show me the underground in which they dwell. His main intention is to have a trustworthy person to give support in the search of willing females, and even though i'm still not quite sure i could handle such a situation, i am going to keep my eyes open for what i've been looking for since i got here, while helping him out of course.
